U.S. Rep. Harry Teague, D-N.M., and his Republican challenger Steve Pearce will jointly appear on the radio on Monday in the Las Cruces area to discuss border security issues.
The hour-long event, which begins at 9 a.m., will be broadcast on KRWG 90.7-FM. According to the Pearce campaign, it will also be webcast on KRWG’s Web site.
KRWG is calling the event a “border issues conversation” with the two candidates. It won’t be a debate – according to the Pearce campaign, no rebuttals will be allowed.
The radio event focusing on border security was proposed by Teague recently as the two sparred over a debate schedule. Pearce wanted general debates, while Teague proposed events that would focus on specific topics.
